The 7 Different Types of AI Tools
Not all “AI music” is the same. Some tools write full songs, others just remix, master, or clone voices. Here’s how to tell which ones truly use AI — and which just sound like they do.
Music generation
Customizable royalty-free instrumentals built for video, with plans that let artists release to streaming.
SOUNDRAW is a Tokyo-based generator for royalty-free instrumental music, built for YouTubers, podcasters, advertisers and anyone who needs background tracks they can adjust. You pick genre, mood, length and tempo, then edit the result section by section, changing intensity or dropping instruments. The company trains on music produced in-house, which is central to its pitch that tracks are safe to use. Its Creator plan covers video and podcast use, while the Artist plans add the right to distribute and monetize tracks on Spotify and Apple Music, with WAV and stems at higher levels. It also offers an API for companies that want to build generation into their own products.
